The former EastEnders star has been quite the jetsetter recently and jetted off to Italy to meet Giovanni Pernice and his family before her visit to the Maldives. According to the MailOnline, Giovanni was reportedly filming a new BBC1 travel show with Anton Du Beke, 56, when Rose turned up to surprise the pair.
The fun snap came just as Rose shared a cryptic message alongside a selection of photos from a fun night with her friends with cocktails in hand. Captioning the post, she wrote: "Finally reunited. Forever grateful for good friends and good times."
We hope the pair have a lovely trip
Rose definitely deserves a break after having an incredibly busy few weeks, including exiting from her role in EastEnders. She has since confirmed that she will be fronting a hard-hitting new documentary titled Signs For Change, all about the daily challenges, discrimination and barriers faced by deaf individuals.
